Chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV)
The virus causes a destructive disease of green pepper (Capsicum) and related crops. It is mainly found in Asia. The symptoms include mosaic, mottling, deformations and dark-green vein-banding on the leaves. In the field, transmission occurs mainly by aphids in a non-persistent manner.
The genome of ChiVMV consists of a single-stranded RNA molecule, about 9.7 kb long without the poly(A) tail that encodes a polyprotein which is subsequently cleaved into 10 functional proteins.
